Transfer recap | How 5 former Penn State men’s basketball players panned out with new programs

Last March, five Penn State players jumped ship when they announced their decisions to depart through the transfer portal and move on to new teams.

Fast forward a year later, all transferred players’ seasons have ended — some with strong conclusions and others in disappointment.

Former Nittany Lion starters, guards Jamari Wheeler, Myreon Jones and Izaiah Brockington all decided to find new homes on high-major teams, while forwards Trent Buttrick and Patrick Kelly decided to go smaller.

Brockington and Wheeler’s teams had strong enough seasons to make it to the NCAA Tournament, but Jones, Buttrick and Kelly sat at home watching March Madness just like their former team.
